Hammam al-Alil massacre

The Hammam al-Alil massacre occurred from 28 October to 7 November 2016 when the Islamic State massacred around 100 civilians in the town of Hammam al-Alil to the south of Mosul, Nineveh Governorate, Iraq. The massacre took place as 70 Islamic State fighters, most of them foreign, fought to the death as the Iraqi Army pushed into Mosul's city center. 100 beheaded bodies were found at the College of Agriculture and Forestry, the first major massacre uncovered by the advancing Iraqi forces.
